As one who has taught in the peacebuilding field for over 30 years, I have longed for a book that fully integrates the full range of conflict contexts - macro and micro, global and local, social and political, theory and practice. Hauss' book accomplishes this. At a time when recognizing both the destructive nature of conflict, as well as the creative force it can become is so critical, this book provides the breath and depth that is needed for those needing a resource that speaks to them in clear language and has a contemporary vibe.— David J. Smith, President, Forage Center for Peacebuilding and Humanitarian Education, Author of Peace Jobs: A Student's Guide to Starting a Career Working for Peace
The author has deep understanding and knowledge about Euro-American international politics, scholarly work and peacebuilding organizations. The book consolidate[s] many valuable resources and a lot of information in one place, which [is] very beneficial to both students and professors.

Charles Hauss' book is a must-read for all those involved in peacemaking and peacebuilding. For the practitioner, the book offers a refresher in the HOW TO address the root causes of a conflict and it raises once more the awareness of Doing Maximum Good and Do No Harm; for the scholar, the text is rich in applied theory, data points and the discussion of patterns and correlations in order to further contextualize peace and conflict studies; and for the student, Chip offers an indispensable text book, rich in case studies, narratives, complexity and multi-dimensional perspectives on peacebuilding. Whereas the application of liberal peace building may be in crisis, Chip's immense reservoir of knowledge and case studies serves as guidance, operational compass and as a research companion wherever and whenever needed. I enjoyed this book, and I will certainly use it both in my classroom explorations and as a guide to inform my practice.
